Superstar Nora Aunor and Tirso Cruz III, who comprise the Guy and Pip loveteam that peaked during the ‘70s, are paired anew in the romantic-family drama, When I Fall In Love.

Directed by Joel Lamangan, When I Fall In Love is part of Studio5 Original Movies, a collection of "made-for-TV" movies that are slated to air on TV5 this February.

Their anticipated onscreen reunion, which comes two decades after their last film, Bilangin ang mga Bituin sa Langit, begs the question: Is their chemistry still alive?

At the January 29 premiere of When I Fall in Love and launch of the Studio5 Original Movies at the Ali Mall Cineplex, the 61-year-old actress admitted that some things between her and her co-actor have changed.

Nora, who made a comeback in showbiz in 2011, also said that she and Tirso have both matured as actors and that what matters is that their loveteam still brings joy to audiences, especially their loyal fans.

When I Fall In Love stars Nora and Pip as the Buenaventura couple, Fely and Armando, whose touching love story is told as the narration shifts to and fro past and present events of their lives.

A year before their 40th wedding anniversary, Armando, a doctor, is diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Resigned to the fact that his chances of recovery are slim, he chooses to spend the little time he has left with Fely and his three children: Ricky (Marc Abaya), Nica (Nadine Samonte), and Louie (Felix Roco). Armando, who tries to remain optimistic despite his illness, wishes to renew his marriage vows with Fely.
